Check the Thermostat and Power Supply
The simplest issues are often overlooked. Ensure your thermostat is set to “cool” and the temperature is lower than the room temperature. Check the batteries in your thermostat and confirm that the AC unit is receiving power. Look for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses related to the AC.
Inspect the Air Filter
A dirty air filter restricts airflow, causing your AC to work harder and less efficiently. Replace or clean your air filter regularly, typically every one to three months, depending on usage and filter type. A clogged filter can lead to frozen evaporator coils and reduced cooling.
Examine the Outdoor Unit
Clear any debris around the outdoor unit, such as leaves, grass clippings, or branches. Ensure the fins are clean and straight. If they’re bent, gently straighten them with a fin comb. Check the refrigerant lines for leaks or damage.
